The Abandoned (currently on hold)

Chapter Twenty-one

I’d like to apologize for the delay again. I was in the hospital for about a week so I couldn’t update. I hope you all can forgive me and enjoy this late chapter. Also, I’d like to say that I will be changing my cover soon. The cover was made by jxeyyp and I’d like to thank jxeyyp for taking time to make a cover for my book. Anywho…now I’ll shut up and let you enjoy the chapter.

chapter twenty-one 

“I’d like to apologize.” Seriously? She thinks an apology is going to fix all the damage she’s caused? Mindy turned to me and looked me directly in the eyes. “I know it’s not enough. I also know you may not believe me, but I really am sorry. I never knew what love was. All I ever had were my powers, nothing else. I had no one to care about me or to love me. I didn’t grow up with my parents-“

“So you thought I shouldn’t grow up with mines either? Just because you had to live through it, doesn’t mean you had to put your own granddaughter through it.” I interrupted boiling in anger. How could she be so selfish? “I had to grow up with a stranger who I now come to find out is my aunt! How do you think I felt when I was lied to about the disappearance of both of my parents? How do you think I felt when I thought my father was dead? I thought I had nothing, when in reality I had a family that thanks to YOU, I grew up without.” I knew my face was becoming red from all the anger I felt. I am usually a pretty understanding person, but this…this is different.

“Sweetheart, just listen.”

“Sweetheart? Just a few minutes ago, you wanted to kill me!” I yelled at her with fury.

“Lisa, listen to me please.”

“Listen to you? No thanks. I’d rather die! I tried to understand you but this is just too much. If you went through all of that and suffered so much, why would you make your granddaughter go through the same? Family doesn’t do that!” I was beyond furious and I could feel my body shaking.

Babe, you need to calm down. I heard Jake’s voice invade my thoughts.

I turned to look at him before yelling,  “Calm down? You want me to calm down? Jake, just a few minutes ago, you wanted to rip her throat out just as much as I want to right now.”

Lisa, I think your wolf is about to come out for the first time.

What? My wolf? Oh yea…I’m part werewolf. Well maybe if I turn now, I can have the strength to kill this piece of crap grandmother that I have.

No! Your first shift will be excruciating. You may die if I’m not with you through it.

But you are here with me. I quickly snapped back at him.

Not in that way Lisa. We need to be…intimate. At that thought, my anger turned to worry. I’m supposed to mate with Jake today. I don’t think I’m ready. We haven’t even had our first date or anything.  Babe, don’t worry. Everything will be fine. After we mate we will be able to go on dates.

I turned once again to look Jake in the eyes. “I’m not ready. I’m afraid, Jake. What if we just postpone the mating process or whatever it is until we get to know each other better?”

“You can’t.” Mindy’s voice surprised me since she wasn’t exactly part of this conversation. I didn’t even want her to be a part of my life. “Honey, I am your grandmother. I know I haven’t acted like one since I found out about your existence, but I’d like you to forgive me. I know what I did is unforgivable but I want to win you back Lisa. I’d like to be a part of your life.”

“It’s too late for that. You tried to kill me!”

“I wasn’t going to kill you Lisa. I was just going to keep you away from Jake until your birthday was over.”

“Well that makes it better…NOT!”

Lisa, calm down please. Jake’s voice filled my head once again. He was begging for me to calm down. I could tell my anger was making his wolf worry. His wolf was shaking. I laid my hand down on his wolf’s back to calm him down. As soon as I touched him, he stopped shaking. He turned to me and I could tell that his eyes were filled with lust.

“It’s time.” Time? Time for what? “Your birthday is almost over sweetheart. You only have a few hours.” Wow, time goes by fast. Wait, this means that…”Yes Lisa, you have to mate with Jake.” I could feel the color draining from my face.

I guess Jake realized because he said to me Lisa, we don’t have to if you’re not ready. I would never force you to do anything my love. I didn’t know how to reply to that. It’s not that I didn’t want him because I did. We are mates and we will be together for the rest of our lives. I just, I don’t know if I’m ready for this.

“Lisa, it’s your choice. But just remember that if you don’t mate, you will be forced to chose if you want to be a wolf, a witch, or a vampire.” Ha, better for her right? She won’t be stripped of her powers if I don’t mate with Jake. “It’s not like that sweetie. I already found my mate. My powers will diminish either way. I will not stop this from happening. You are my blood Lisa. I still care about you even if you don’t think I do.” I could see full sincerity in her eyes. I know I should hate her, but a part of me was already forgiving her. I’m not one to hold grudges. I guess I should just be happy that I have my whole family back and that they all love me. “I do Lisa.” Mindy said surprising me. She does what? “I do love you my dear granddaughter.”

With that said, she walked over to me and wrapped her arms around me. My eyes began to fill up with tears. “Now, now sweetie. Don’t cry. You have more important things to be doing. It’s time for you to change the world.” I understood perfectly what she meant.

I turned over to Jake again and said, “I’m ready.”
